Fifth Meeting of the Caribbean Development Roundtable Promoting Climate Resilience and Sustainable Economic Growth in the Caribbean

The Caribbean Development Roundtable (CDR) will convene under the general theme ‘Promoting climate resilience and sustainable economic growth in the Caribbean,’ and include panel presentations and dialogue among policy makers, academics, the private sector and other stakeholders.

The CDR will consider the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) debt for climate adaptation swap initiative, related opportunities for investment in green industries to promote economic diversification, and efforts to promote fiscal responsibility through the use of Public Expenditure Reviews in the Caribbean. The main objective of the meeting is to provide a space for intellectual exchange of views and suggestions, with a view to identifying workable solutions to address the vulnerabilities of Caribbean small island developing States (SIDS). Participants will aim to identify integrated strategies for building resilience to be mainstreamed into national development planning processes through policy formulation.
